The bathtub is 50 years old, with a plunger-style tripwaste - i.e., you move the lever that's under the faucet, and it plugs up the drain without your seeing the plug.

When you unscrew the cover over that lever, the tripwaste mechanism is supposed to come with. Problem is, the thing is so old that the lever has corroded off and the mechanism/plunger are permanently clogging up the drain. The tub drains, but very slowly. I have tried pouring down boiling water, white vinegar, and drano. Have tried pulling on the tripwaste with pliers. Even tried using a toilet plunger, which actually helps the water flow slightly faster, but doesn't loosen the corroded mechanism.

Plumbers say they'd have to tear apart the wall, for lots of $$$. Isn't there any other way?? Help!!!

I'm installing a nail down solid hardwood floor over a plywood subfloor. There are some minor imperfections on the subfloor and would like some type of underlayment to help with the imperfections and any potential sqeaking.

Would putting a thin form underlayment (type used with laminent flooring) hurt the solid hardwood?

First, I am planning on installing the unit myself. I have a gas furnace and a condenser outside. They are both Lennox however, the unit inside was made in 1974 while the unit outside had been recently replaced in 2002. The evaporator coil was replaced as well. I was looking very carefully at the furnace unit in the basement of my house and noticed it appears to be connect to the ducts and it sits on the floor. It is rectangular and is approximatley 5ft by 2ft. It appears to be something that you can disconnect and remove yourself I notice when looking online the gas furnaces they are of similar size and you can make it fit by cutting appropriate size adaptor to fit your existing ductwork. Of course, there are gas lines you may need to cut etc... The only thing I was wondering about does the evaporater coil in the house need to be changed as well with the new furnace. Finally I was wondering are GOODMAN a good company they commonly sell them new on ebay.

I need to press the opener again and then the garage door goes back to close position. I have checked the springs (they were replaced only 5 months ago).

I'll be moving soon to a place with a fairly cold climate. Which should I choose, an upstairs apartment, or downstairs? My two considerations are:

- heating. which stays warmer?
- noise. Whenever I've lived in a downstairs apartment, I always heard my neighbors above. When I lived upstaris, never heard a thing.

So, what do you think!?!?!?

I heard something about moth balls but I'm reluctant to put any chemicals around the plants I'm growing for food.

I have tried talking to her and she will not do anything about them.
They are in my flower beds, in my gutters, in my garage.. I spend 2 hours a day picking them up.. then 4 hours later they are all back in my yard. I don't want to make an enemy but I would like to know it there is anything I can do.
Thank you
